Build the Future of AI: Signal ’26 GMI Cloud Launch Day

Signal ’26 Over the past year, AI has been sending us clear signals. Signals of scale.Signals of acceleration.Signals that inference—not just training—would define what AI can become. As an infrastructure company, we listened. We built real-time inference engines for AI reasoning at scale.We opened a multi-model platform for large-scale, multimodal experimentation.We designed an AI Factory to unlock higher data-center efficiency and massive compute throughput.And we launched GMI Studio (Beta)—bringing GPU compute, leading foundation models, and production-ready workflows into one unified space. But every year, the signal changes. 2026 is not about bigger models alone.It’s about agentic systems—AI that acts, decides, collaborates, and ships.It’s about multi-model workflows, production reliability, and infra that doesn’t break when you scale.It’s about creators, builders, and platforms finally working in the same loop. This is not a talk-only event. Signal ’26 is the launch of GMI Studio and a hands-on look at how AI workflows are built, executed, and scaled in 2026 for AI builders. You’ll see real AI workflows executing on GMI infrastructure, in real time. Why Attend If you’re building AI that needs to ship, scale, and survive production, this event is for you. 🚀 See GMI Studio live — from zero to production workflows in real time⚡ Experience infra speed — fast startup, autoscaling, and real reliability🧩 Explore the Multi-Model Playground Service — experiment across partner models in one workflow🤝 Meet the ecosystem — NVIDIA, model partners, creators, builders🧠 Build & ship — hands-on afternoon hackathon with $3,000+ in prizes🍸 Launch-day energy — demos, networking, lunch & open bar Featured Guests 💻 Demo Sessions Chang Zi Qian — US Chief Representative, PixVerseCree Beauvoir — Chief of Staff, PikaBing Chen — Staff Solution Architect, Alibaba Cloud US 🎤 Panel: Building Production AI Jie Yang — CTO, UtopaiRobert Scoble — Tech Analyst & Industry KOLCecilia Zhang — CEO and Co-founder, Phota LabsCallum Williamson — Marketing Manager, New Port AI 🧑‍💻 Hackathon Judges ​Jesse Z.
